Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

When drizzly weather keeps the toddlers indoors, A Trip to the San Diego Zoo will bring sunshine and smiles into their day. Produced by the multi-award-winning Baby Genius group, this 40-minute tour captures panda bears, monkeys, and tigers as they romp through their gorgeous San Diego Zoo environs. An equally spirited group of youngsters pets ponies in the Children's Zoo, plays chase with the polar bears (outside of their watery enclosure, of course), and giggles at the comical gorillas. Mild classical music accompanies this wordless show, making the whole effect more of a backdrop to toddler activity than an interactive experience. To break the trance, the occasional computer-generated tour guide--a 3-D cartoon character--slides into view, to wave at the audience or to introduce a new group of animals. A quiet review of the alphabet and a bonus sing-along complete the show. --Liane Thomas

From the Back Cover

With world-famous San Diego Zoo as a backdrop, children are introduced to the fascinating world of animals! Enchanting classical music plays as they meet Hua Mei, the first giant panda born at the zoo, and journey through Tiger River and Ituri Forest where tigers and hippos gather.

5.0 out of 5 stars the BEST video Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
My 2 y/o LOVES this video!!! This is the one that is always asked for...and several times a day.

The Baby Genius videos are designed to be watched with a parent so the parent and tot can talk about what they are watching. A great concept especially since tots aren't supposed to be watching any TV if under 2.

This video beats any other video I have for my child (Baby Einstein series, Fisher Price series, Mommy & Me, Little Laureate). I haven't gotten sick of this video yet, unlike some of the other videos. THe San Diego Zoo and the Underwater Adventure are the 2 favorites in our house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very entertaining Mar 28 2004

Format:DVD
My 23 month old grew up watching the Baby Einstein series and she is constantly requesting to watch them over and over. I tried to put the San Diego Zoo on for her a few times now and several seconds into it she asks for the other dvds. I asked her if she liked this one and she says no....and she knows when she likes something and doesn't. I'm hoping as she gets older she will want to see the animals in this DVD. She knows what most of the animals are but she is not entertained by the music and I think they focus too long on each animal. They needed to move quicker threw the animals to hold her attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the music and real animal footage Feb 28 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
My 18-month old daughter has been watching this video since she was about 10-months old. She loves the animals and we love watching it with her. After Sesame Street, a much loved show, this video offers refreshingly real footage (virtually no animation and no puppets) combined with classical music. While one reviewer complained that the Baby Genius videos are not exciting enough, we welcome these videos for precisely that reason. The only time our daughter watches videos is when it's time to calm down for bed or when she isn't feeling well. The Baby Genius videos can be very educational, but only with the help of a parent. We consider that a positive, and have enjoyed watching this video as a family.
